Arrow crank, no start.....

hey guys/gals,

I got a 2001 F150 5.4L with a crank no start into the shop today. I have ruled out fuel, spark as possible causes. I have also ruled out: battery, starter, alternator as causes.
I have heard that the windshield can leak and cause the G.E.M. to corrode causeing a variety of electrical issues.
Has anyone ran into this before and if so, where is the GEM located on this vehicle?

How about IAC? Depress the gas pedal slightly, if she starts, the IAC is bad (Idle Air Control)

If you've already ruled out spark and fuel, there's only one thing left....
